This is violin to accompany my life - from the first school years (I started music education with this instrument) and today (my wife and son are professional violinists). This circumstance has evidently influenced my creation, where violin is ranked as an important necessary participant of performing casts (orchestra, numerous ensembles) and the true soloist (I am the author of three violin concerti), so as piano’s partner at chamber concert. Violin solo composition is the special sphere of my activity with immense traditions - from the early baroque and immortal Bach’s creations up to virtuoso Sonatas by Eug?ne Ysa?e and the modern avant-garde opuses. Violin is endowed with inexhaustible performing abilities, making me enjoy it a great deal.
The compositions presented here refer to different periods of my life, therefore having their own stories of creation.
I do believe the compositions reproduced in this collection will attract professional musicians both as concert an d obligatory modern programme for the contests, where participants should perform any piece of their native composer.
I am most grateful to everybody carried away by these compositions, so very dear to my heart.
